2.I am visiting Jiuzhaigou, what sort of food can I expect? - Top
Unfortunately the food in this area does not match the scenery.
1.There are only a few good restaurants in Jiuzhaigou and they're usually very crowded especially in peak season.
2.Fresh vegetables are rarely available as they need to transfer vegetables from other parts of the area. The high latitude the area located also affects the taste of food.
3.I heard that some restaurants in China have dog on the menu. Is that true? - Top
We have to say it is true. Dog is eaten in certain areas in China, as it is in a number of other Asian countries. Restaurants that serve dog usually specialize in this dish, so you are unlikely to encounter dog on the menu unless you go looking and then only in particular areas of China.
